Algebraic manipulation problem
$begingroup$
I was just wondering out of curiosity since i do not see how this could be done but is there a potential way to make $a $ the subject of this formula?
$$X=bigg(frac{50times2}{a^{50times2}}-1bigg)a^y-bigg(frac{50times2}{a^{50times2}}-1bigg)$$
Where $Xin[0,100]$ and $yin [0,100]$.
Would appreciate the suggestions and help offered.
EDIT: What if the equation is given as:
$$X=bigg(frac{50times2}{a^{50times2}-1}bigg)a^y-bigg(frac{50times2}{a^{50times2}-1}bigg)$$

As the Wolfram Development Platform can't find a solution, I'm guessing your only option is to find $a$ numerically.

Thank you for the suggestion, so what numerical analysis techniques could we employ?

Do you have an interval in which $a$ must lie?

There is no information given on the interval of $a$.

Also, rewriting the equation as $$x = frac{(a^{100} - 100) (1 - a^y )}{a^{100}}$$ might help.
